International Cooperation
With an ever growing number of identifications and its highly experienced and specialised staff of more than 60 scientists, the CMP is increasingly being seen as a standard-setting missing persons project that can provide valuable lessons to other contexts where efforts to locate and identify missing persons are being planned. Since 2012, through the facilitation of the ICRC, the CMP has begun to work with Iraqi authorities from the Ministries of Health and Human Rights who aspire to establish the fate of between 250,000 to 1 million missing persons. The CMP regularly hosts Iraqi scientists at its laboratory to provide training in a broad range of forensic techniques.
